December 2010 Rev. 1.1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The XRP7664 is a synchronous current-mode PWM step down (buck) regulator capable of a constant output current up to 2Amps. A wide 4.75V to 18V input voltage range allows for single supply operations from industry standard 5V and 12V power rails. With a 340kHz constant operating frequency and integrated high and low side 120mΩ/110mΩ MOSFETs, the XRP7664 reduces the overall component count and solution footprint. Current-mode control provides fast transient response and cycle-bycycle current limit. An adjustable soft-start prevents inrush current at turn-on, and in shutdown mode the supply current drops to 0.1uA. Built-in output over voltage (open load), over temperature, cycle-by-cycle over current and under voltage lockout (UVLO) protections insure safe operations under abnormal operating conditions. The XRP7664 is a pin and function compatible device to MP1482. The XRP7664 is offered in a RoHS compliant, green /halogen free 8-pin SOIC package.

This is the output of transconductance error amplifier and the input to the current comparator. It is used to compensate the control loop. Connect an RC network form this pin to GND. Control input pin. Forcing this pin above 1.5V enables the IC. Forcing this pin below 0.5V shuts down the IC. When the IC is in shutdown mode all functions are disabled to decrease the supply current below 1µA. Soft-start control input pin. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start period.

THEORY OF OPERATION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The XRP7664 is a synchronous, current-mode, step-down regulator. It regulates input voltages from 4.75V to 18V and supplies up to 2A of load current. The XRP7664 uses currentmode control to regulate the output voltage. The output voltage is measured at FB through a resistive voltage divider and input to a transconductance error amplifier. The highside switch current is compared to the output of the error amplifier to control the output voltage. The regulator utilizes internal N- channel MOSFETs to step-down the input voltage. A bootstrapping capacitor connected between BS and SW acts as a supply for highside MOSFET. This capacitor is charged from the internal 5V supply when SW node is low. The XRP7664 has several powerful protection features including OCP, OVP, OTP, UVLO and output short-circuit. PROGRAMMABLE SOFT-START The soft-start time is fully programmable via CSS capacitor, placed between the SS and GND pin. The CSS is charged by a 6µA constant-current source, generating a ramp signal fed into non-inverting input of the error amplifier. This ramp regulates the voltage on comp pin during the regulator startup, thus realizing soft-start. Calculate the required CSS from: 6μ tss is the required soft-start time V FB is the feedback voltage (0.925V nominal) OVERCURRENT PROTECTION OCP The OCP protects against accidental increase in load current that can cause the regulator to fail. The current of internal switch M1 is monitored. If this current reaches 3.5A then M1 is turned off until next switching cycle. SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION If there is short-circuit across the output, the feedback voltage V FB will droop. If V FB drops below 0.3V the XRP7664 will detect a shortcircuit condition and reduce the switching frequency to 90kHz for system protection. The regulator will restart once the short-circuit has been removed. OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION OVP The XRP7664 has internal OVP. When V OUT exceeds the OVP threshold (when V FB exceeds1.1v) the power switching will be turned off. The XRP7664 will restart when overvoltage condition is removed. OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION OTP If the junction temperature exceeds 160 C the OTP circuit is triggered, turning off the internal control circuit and switched M1 and M2. When junction temperature drops below 130 C the XRP7664 will restart. APPLICATION INFORMATION SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE Use an external resistor divider to set the output voltage. Program the output voltage from: 1 2 0.925 1 R1 is the resistor between V OUT and FB R2 is the resistor between FB and GND (nominally 10kΩ) 0.925V is the nominal feedback voltage. OUTPUT INDUCTOR Select the output inductor for inductance L, DC current rating I DC and saturation current rating I SAT. I DC should be larger than regulator output current. I SAT, as a rule of thumb, should be 50% higher than the regulator output current. Since the regulator is rated at 2A then I DC 2A and I SAT 3A. Calculate the inductance from: 2010 Exar Corporation 7/12 Rev. 1.1.0
ΔI L is peak-to-peak inductor current ripple nominally set to 30%-40% of I OUT f S is nominal switching frequency (340kHz) As an example, inductor values for several common output voltages are shown in tables 1 and 2. Note that example inductors shown in tables 1 and 2 are COOPER-Bussmann shielded inductors. If the target application is not sensitive to EMI then unshielded inductors may be used.

Suggested inductor values for V IN =5V and I OUT =2A OUTPUT CAPACITOR C OUT Select the output capacitor for voltage rating, capacitance C OUT and Equivalent Series Resistance ESR. The voltage rating, as a rule of thumb, should be at least twice the output voltage. When calculating the required capacitance, usually the overriding requirement is current load-step transient. If the unloading transient (i.e., when load transitions from a high to a low current) is met, then usually the loading transient (when load transitions from a low to a high current) is met as well. Therefore calculate the C OUT based on the unloading transient requirement from: L is the inductance calculated in the preceding step I High is the value of load-step prior to unloading. This is nominally set equal to regulator current rating (2A). I Low is the value of load-step after unloading. This is nominally set equal to 50% of regulator current rating (1A). V transient is the maximum permissible voltage transient corresponding to the load step mentioned above. V transient is typically specified from 3% to 5% of V OUT. ESR of the capacitor has to be selected such that the output voltage ripple requirement ΔV OUT, nominally 1% of V OUT, is met. Voltage ripple ΔV OUT is mainly composed of two components: the resistive ripple due to ESR and capacitive ripple due to C OUT charge transfer. For applications requiring low voltage ripple, ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their low ESR which is typically in the range of 5mΩ. Therefore ΔV OUT is mainly capacitive. For ceramic capacitors calculate the ΔV OUT from: 8 ΔI L is from table 1 or 2 C OUT is the value calculated above f s is nominal switching frequency (340kHz) If tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are used then ΔV OUT is essentially a function of ESR: INPUT CAPACITOR C IN Select the input capacitor for voltage rating, RMS current rating and capacitance. The voltage rating should be at least 50% higher 2010 Exar Corporation 8/12 Rev. 1.1.0

Optional Schottky diode EXTERNAL BOOTSTRAP DIODE A low-cost diode, such as 1N4148, is recommended for higher efficiency when the input voltage is 5V or the output is 5V or 3.3V. Circuit configuration is shown in figures 16 and 17. The external bootstrap diode is also recommended where duty cycle (V OUT /V IN ) is larger than 65%. LOOP COMPENSATION XRP7664 utilizes current-mode control. This allows using a minimum of external components to compensate the regulator. In general only two components are needed: RC and CC. Proper compensation of the regulator (determining RC and CC) results in optimum transient response. In terms of power supply control theory, the goals of compensation are to choose RC and CC such that the regulator loop gain has a crossover frequency fc between 15kHz and 34kHz. The corresponding phase-margin should be between 45 degrees and 65 degrees. An important characteristic of current-mode buck regulator is its dominant pole. The frequency of the dominant pole is given by: 1 2 where R load is the output load resistance. The uncompensated regulator has a constant gain up to its pole frequency, beyond which 2010 Exar Corporation 9/12 Rev. 1.1.0
the gain decreases at -20dB/decade. The zero arising from the output capacitor s ESR is inconsequential if ceramic C OUT is used. This simplifies the compensation. The RC and CC, which are placed between the output of XRP7664 s Error Amplifier and ground, constitute a zero. The frequency of this compensating zero is given by: For the typical application circuit, RC=5.6kΩ and CC=3.3nF provide a satisfactory compensation. Please contact EXAR if you need assistance with the compensation of your particular circuit. 1 2 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Fig. 16: XRP7664 Typical Application Diagram - 12V to 3.3V Conversion 2010 Exar Corporation 10/12 Rev. 1.1.0
